Maurice Price Cut
 

10-11 by the Pats.. should we try to get him back? Go Chiefs!

Yes, lets sign a guy we cut, then went on to get cut by another team. He's a diamond in the rough I tell you.

Awesome thread

your mother is like a practice squad player

He was on our PS when the Pats took him, though, wasn't he? It's not like we'd put him out on the street. If they wanted to keep him on the PS, presumably they could bring him back now that he's free.

The Pats cut Beisel too and he scored the winning TD today.

if you can't make this team's 53
WGAF

You are assuming our coaches have a clue.
:p

Are they making room for Huard? ha.

The Pats have a better Receiving corps than we do.
They don't need him.

I'd definitely take a second look at him.

If the Chiefs sign Price, they're guaranteed one win this season

Price was arguably the most impressive Receivers we had in the off-season.
I would definitely bring him back. What could it hurt?

Confusing Pre-Season with Regular Season is what gets teams into major trouble.

I don't think pre-season performances are completely without merit.
Certainly they're no guarantee that a player will perform to that level in the Regular Season, but what do we stand to lose by bringing him back?

A roster spot of someone more deserving

Like?

Would you really notice if they canned a guy like Brian De La Puente?

I disagree DMC, the preseason is supposed to show us who is talented and who is not. It's an evaluation process. By your logic, the entire preseason is moot and should be canceled. The fact is Price did look good in the preseason. Unfortunately Darling's signing came with more noise and hoopla. So, IMO, office politics kept him on the roster.

no doubt. he was on our PS.

Price definitely looked better than everybody but Bowe, but I don't expect the Chiefs to go after him now.

Cut Darling (and his 4 catches) and insert Price.

No brainer. Why wouldn't we bring him back if our original intention was to put him on the practice squad?

I've never seen a team whose fans love their almost-talented-enough-to-make-the-team players quite like some around here do.

When you have players like Devard Darling playing as a STARTER, it's easy to to think there is somebody better for the team.

How can you judge the receivers on this team at this point?

Brian De La Puente:

2007: A stalwart on the offensive line who earned honorable mention All-Pac-10 honors ... started all 13 games at left guard ... earned the team's Bob Tessier Award as its Most Improved Offensive Lineman ... part of a unit that allowed a league-low 11 sacks ... Cal's offense garnered over 2,000 yards on the ground, including 1,500-yard rusher Justin Forsett.

2006: Played in 10 games, including starts at right guard against Washington State, Washington and UCLA ... recorded 14.5 knockdown blocks and 8.5 pancakes ... had season-bests of 4.5 knockdowns and 2.5 pancakes in the Washington State outing.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Considering Brian Waters is near the end of his career and the Chiefs don't have anyone on the roster to fill his spot, I would rather keep a guy like De La Puente, especially when the line is delicate to begin with.


What happens if Waters is injured? Herb Taylor can't play every position on the line simultaneously.


Price, OTOH, would be fine for the practice squad but he's obviously not ready for the NFL at this time.

Screw him, we have Mark Bradley!

I can only say, that I liked what I saw out of Price in his limited time. He's still young, caught everything thrown his way, and showed more hussle than the rest. The Pats must have seen something in him as well.

I really want to see Bradley. I think the day he stepped in KC he was the 2nd best receiver on this team.

They did? Is that why he's sitting in an airport now?

INTIALLY, yes, they OBVIOUSLY saw something in his play in the preseason to warrant consideration, otherwise they wouldn't have put them on their 53 man ROSTER. I'm not claiming him to be the next great wide-out, just a player who showed he looked like he had what it takes to succeed at this level.

If Waters is injured we're sunk anyway.
And it's not like we couldn't move De La Puente to the Practice Squad.

Price has shown us something. Whether or not that will translate to the field in the Regular Season remains to be seen. If it does... He'd be a contributor immediately. De La Puente? Only if someone is injured.

No, Price has shown YOU something.

He apparently has shown TWO different NFL coaching staffs (one of which is considered the best of this decade) that he's not capable of being in this league.

No shit.

That reminds me. Who did Bobby Sippio sign with? I keep flipping around the Sunday Ticket trying to catch a glimpse of greatness, but he is very elusive.

No.

He's over 12 and will cost more than $5.50 an hour...

Price was impressive in the pre-season whether you want to believe that or not.

Remember, you're the guy clamoring for Croyle despite his not showing much in limited time. He's looked like shit in two consecutive pre-seasons.

But you're ready to castoff a guy who has shown something in pre-season games?
A guy the Chiefs staff wanted to keep around?

Interesting...

That counts for little when you consider the fact that this team has repeatedly made mistakes with regard to player personnel. AND the fact that New England is in 10 times the shape we are at Wide Receiver.

Sippio's had more opportunity to prove himself in the NFL.

Nice attempt at a redirect. This is about Price, not Croyle.

If the Patriots are so deep at WR, why did they sign him to begin with?

And FTR, I've posted MANY times since the Week 1 injury that Croyle is done. We'll see a new QBOTF in March (FA) or April. (Draft)

With that said, he still has something to show, where Huard does not. Croyle could show his worth as a backup for this team, while Huard's already shown through over 10 years of play that he's barely capable of even doing that

So, back on track - the question stands:

If the Patriots are so deep at WR, why did they sign Price to begin with?

Can't wait to see the answer to this one...

I'm not redirecting. I'm drawing a comparison.
Croyle, in your mind, deserves an opportunity to START without ever having earned it or played well in the pre-season.

Price, has at the very least, been impressive in the pre-season.
But you'd rather just part ways with him.

I'm not even suggesting he should start. Just give him an opportunity to sink or swim.
That's all I'm saying.

That's just it. They aren't deep. I never suggested they were.
I just said they were in a much better position. They have legitimate starters on both sides. We...do not.

That's another discussion altogether.
I was merely using his situation as an illustration.

I never said they were deep. How's that for an answer?

Pretty much what I expected.

Let's rephrase, using your own words.

If the Patriots are in 10 times the shape we are at Wide Receiver, then why did they sign Price to begin with?



While you're working on that, here's another.

Where was all the outrage for Casey Printers?

I mean, he looked pretty good in PS in 2007, yet was cut. Playing in the CFL as we speak. Playing poorly in the CFL, I might add.



People get WAY too worked up about these guys that look decent against other guys that are out of the league right now.

Hell, Seattle was signing guys literally of the street, that had been out of football for YEARS. Where were they in the Price sweepstakes? If he had the talent YOU think he does, they are fools for not bringing him in.

You can knock KC management all you want (they deserve it, BTW) but Price has been available to all 32 teams, and no one has given him a shot.

Maybe, just maybe, those 32 teams know a little bit more about what it takes to play in the NFL than you do.

I can't speak for the Patriot staff.
Obviously they were looking to improve the position.

Why that has any bearing on what we do here in Kansas City I don't know.
Perhaps you can explain that for me?

I'm not worked up about it. I said we should bring him back for a look.
How that turned into me being worked up I don't understand.

Of course. Because NFL teams never get it wrong.
Tom Brady and Randy Moss were both #1 overall picks.
:rolleyes:

I love that logic.

esp this coaching staff........they thought it was smart to play Thigpen in a reg season game.

Wow.

The amount of hyperbole in your posts is reaching KCJ levels.

Step back from your keyboard, and take a deep breath.

And then they went ahead and ****ed it up the rest of the way by reinserting Huard.

There's nothing hyperbolic about what I said.

My point is simply that organizations are made up of human beings.
People who are just as flawed as you and I. I gave two examples of where multiple staffs have gotten it wrong.

Sometimes players get overlooked.
For various reasons.

My point is... Without a legitimate #2 what would it hurt to give the kid a chance to see if he can do what he did for this team in August? We have a legitimate #1 guy. There's a good chance we'll retain Gonzalez. We need to identify a #2 guy. The Chiefs ALREADY wanted to keep the kid around. He was signed away by another team. Why not bring him back and put him on the active roster...see what he has?

I like how your argument disappeared though.
And you started in with the personal attacks.
That's par for the course with you.

Im not getting into this argument again because Huard is the best option we have while Croyle is out.......PERIOD.

34 to nothing......PERIOD.

Look in the mirror.

YOU are the one that deflected the conversation to my thoughts about Croyle.

You don't HAVE an argument other than he looked decent against other scrubs in PS. You just keep repeating the same thing.

"We should bring Price back in."

Basically the argumentative equivalent of stomping your feet and holding your breath because things aren't going the way YOU think they should.



micjones: We should bring Price back.

OTW: Why?

micjones: He looked good in the PS.

OTW: Yeah, against other 3rd, 4th and 5th stringers.

micjones: But, he looked good. Let's bring him back.

OTW: Why? There are 32 teams in the league that feel he's not worthty of a roster spot.

micjones: But he looked good in PS. Let's bring him back.


If the answer to every question was "why not?", you could be a Jeopardy Grand Champion.

Ouch.

I used it as an illustration of how young players are handled by this organization. Ignore that if you'd like, but it's in plain view for everyone to see.

I think a player who performs well in the pre-season should get an opportunity to stay on with the team. The fact that he did so against inferior talent doesn't diminish anything in my mind. If it were that simple EVERY Wide Receiver playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers would produce. I think we know that isn't the case.

FYP.

Nice work, hypocrite. Again, I detail the entire conversation between you and I, and you resort to this:

You're whining... Na na na boo boo...

You could have saved a lot of time, and just typed:

I think I'm smarter than the NFL.

Tom Brady and Randy Moss WERE passed over.

In the DRAFT.

This kid has FILM, in LIVE, NFL GAME ACTION for the rest of the league to see and evaluate. And no one is knocking.

Funny you mention Webb. A guy who racked up over 300 yards and a TD receiving as a #4. Playing against the best of the best.

Price can't beat HIM out, and you want him to get a look at the #2 spot?

I'll ask AGAIN.

Where was the outrage over Casey Printers when he was cut?

Same situation, different position.

I'm just wondering why every time this kid's name is brought up, you're about the only person that absolutely pines for him...

And in closing:




But hey, keep taking your "I'm smarter than the league" contrarian approach. It makes this place fun.

Price has shown no NFL talent and that's why he is not playing in the NFL....bottom line. Just because you get drafted , doesn't mean you are an automatic stud or automatic scrub. You have to show one or the other....and since 2 teams have passed and we don't see him on the receiving leader boards....hmmmmm :hmmm:

But, he did, in preseason, against guys selling insurance and bagging groceries right now. /micjones



On a bit of a side note, how sad is it that people think that 6 catches for under 100 yards and a TD against inferior competition over 3 PS games is worth keeping a guy?

Price dominated grocery baggers, let it die

I know I know, I'm sorry....:doh!:

It's what the "true fans" do.

Grasp at straws.

"You know, if I close my eyes and wish REALLY hard, the Chiefs might resign a scrub they already dumped - and he might become a STAR!"


*Letting it die*

I sure wish KC would bring back Price.

I think I FYP?? Maybe??

You want the city to become a sports team? Weird.

I was just hoping the mayor would extend a welcome to Price, and he might decide to live in "our" fine community.

No ****ing way do I want him playing for the Chiefs. He's good only when playing against grocery baggers.

why can't we always play grocery baggers :(??

shouldn't this be "Maurice Price cult"?

Keep ****ing doubting [Insert Fan Favorite of the Week].....
